Involvement

Act Two

His Majesty can be encountered on the ground floor of the Last Light Inn. He is rather stand-offish and hisses immediately when approached and more throughout any interactions with him. Rangers immediately recognise him as territorial. A player character without  Speak with Animals active may try to call the cat to them with a DC 14 Animal Handling check and, at their own peril, attempt to pet him.

If  Speak with Animals is active, a player character can express that their intentions are pure and that they only wish to admire him, after which he allows the party to stay and chat a little longer.

When asked if he has heard anything interesting, His Majesty relays his belief that Isobel is a liar because she promised him milk but he has yet to receive any. The party can corroborate this story by finding a milk bowl in Isobel's room. However, stealing it and presenting it to His Majesty does not improve favour with him, nor results in him drinking it.

Speaking with His Majesty grants the  Noble Feline to party members with the  Noble background. Meeting Steelclaw as well also grants the  Alley Cats inspiration to party members with the  Urchin background.

Appearance changes

His Majesty was hairless when he was first implemented in Early Access and through launch. However, Larian gave him the fur of a long-haired cat in Patch #3 on September 22, 2023 with the following patch note:

Updated the visuals of His Majesty, who previously looked like Steelclaw. His Majesty's appearance now befits his name and nature.

This resulted in a massive outcry from players who felt the Sphynx cat breed perfectly fit the character of His Majesty.

Larian restored his appearance soon after in Hotfix #8 on October 3, 2023, deciding to change Steelclaw's appearance instead of His Majesty's:

Shaved His Majesty, who is once again a Sphynx. Steelclaw's eye colour has been adjusted so they are no longer identical twins.
